If writers took every bit of writing advice that was in the format ‘Don’t use X part of the English language’, all English fiction would read like Spot the dog

#Spot chases the ball#the ball chases Spot#the ball conquers nations#the ball still chases spot#see spot run#run spot run#the ball is coming

stop telling ppl to write like hemingway i promise u adverbs are not another face of the dark lord satan its ok

First they came for the verbs, and I said nothing, because verbing weirds language

Then they arrival for the nouns, and I speech nothing, because no verbs

Then they for the descriptive, and I silent because verbless and nounless

Then they for me, and, but no

REBLOGGING BECAUSE THE LAST POST IS BRILLIANT.

Neatly put.

Warnings about “adverb/adjective/etc. use” is a feature of editing software. It’s good for catching really excessive overuse, but don’t strip out the lot just because a program says so. Use your own judgement.
